Happy Friday: Frugal Picnic Hip2Save Style

The idea that I’d like to share is my family’s nearly free picnic. We collected everything in the photo (including the bag) and had a wonderful picnic. Many of the items were mentioned on your site, a few were not. The apples were “purchased” with a rebate coupon from Fred Meyer – get $3 off $3 of produce, and the eggs were a freebie from signing up with the new Safeway program. It cost us about $1.50 out of pocket – including milk for our tea, and the extra we paid for the lunch meat, which was only 20 cents a pack. It was a great family experience to collect and gather the necessary items for a picnic!

HAPPY FRIDAY!😀

Very fun! I like to make a goal for my couponing/freebies too! Last year we rented a lake house with family and I offered to supply the food for the week. Was to supply all the food for 6 adults for a week for less then $100 thanks to this site. Took me about 3 months.

Kim, here – the bag was from a Udi’s gluten free giveaway awhile back, and the hot water for tea and noodles was heated up with a mini camp stove. Yes, milk in tea is the English way – delicious! Yes, I too was not crazy about the Zevia, glad it was free! However, it was still a great picnic!
